"Hitherto the apostle hath discoursed of matters of faith; in this and the following chapters he sets down precepts of holy life. By the mercies of God: he useth the word in the plural number, to amplify and set forth the manifold mercies of God, in election, justification, adoption, etc. Seeing you Gentiles have received so many and so great mercies from God; seeing he hath preferred you to his ancient people the Jews, and hath chosen and called you, when he hath rejected them; as you value these mercies, let the consideration of them engage you to all manner of holiness and new obedience. That ye present; that you give, dedicate, and offer up, as spiritual priests. Your bodies; yourselves, or, your whole man; a part is put for the whole; the body is named, because it is the soul's instrument in the service of God. A living sacrifice; the sacrifices of old were presented alive to God, and their blood was shed at the feet of the altar: a beast that died of itself, or was torn by wild beasts, was not so much as to be eaten, Exodus 22:31, Leviticus 22:8. Conformable hereunto, God will have us offer up ourselves." – Matthew Poole
